One of the most amazing things to read

At the moment I am training to become a Life Coach and currently reading the manual and doing on the job training.  Well the stuff I am reading is

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! Everything is explained in detail and it is really well put together.  I wanted to share a few things in the manual that just have that “WOW factor.” 

This is the Contrast Between You and God:

He is the Shepherd.  You are a sheep who often stubbornly goes your own  way.

            He is the Master.  You are a servant who often tries to take charge.

            He is the Potter.  You are clay that often fights molding.

            He is the Holy One.  You are grimy with sin yet often pretend you’re clean   in the comparison to others.

            He is the Redeemer.  You are a prisoner of sin who often clings to your prison and resists redemption.

BUT GOD SAYS YOU ARE:

            Not just a stubborn sheep, but a beloved sheep, so precious that He’d leave the ninety-nine to go in search of you.

            Not just a servant, but His dear friend.

            Not clay after all, but a vessel made of silver and gold, worthy of being purified seven times.

            Not grimy any more, but covered in Christ’s righteousness, and

            Not merely a freed prisoner, but the future bride of Christ!

Ok this is one of the most beautiful things I have ever read, and here this is about You and Me!!!  This is something to get excited about!!!  This gives up hope and purpose and reminds us of who we are in Christ and how he wants the very best for us and that we can’t do it without him. 

The one thing that I have been noticing where my eyes are being opened more and more each day while doing this training is that there are so many people that are hurting.  They are in pain, and they are being deceived from the evil one and believing his lies and he is stealing the joy and peace from people and their homes.  He has completely destroyed families and relationships and people’s self esteem.  It is so important that I need to put on the armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18) To stand and do actual spiritual warfare and bring the love of the gospel and of Christ to these hurting people is going to be a serious battle.  To be able to do this, you need to be prayed up and filled with God’s Word because if not then Satan can easily attack you when you are alone, and try and come into the household.  I can honestly say right now that Satan has seen what I am training to do and he knows my heart and knows how eager and ready I am for this and can’t wait to start sharing the love of Christ with others that he has been trying every way to get me down and get into our family.  Since I am aware of this, then I know what is going on and don’t “buy” into the lies and can stand comfortable  through the trials and tests because I know the Lord is with me and never leaves me.  The best thing I can say about my husband and I is that since we are on the same page about the Lord that when things try and come against us, we unite even stronger and don’t get into “strife” and fights that others may get into.  We understand that we are eachothers gifts and that we are to be united as one and be warriors for the Lord.

So the purpose of this blog was to share the amazing stuff I am reading while doing my training and I am excited beyond belief about what God is getting ready to use me for and I can’t wait to share my testimony with others and really actually become a real living disciple of the Lord and let people know that God IS REAL!!!!

Just Want everyone to know.....

                   I just had to Blog about how Awesome Our God is!!!  He comes through everytime in any and every situation.  We can often think we have it all figured out and then God can remind us that HE is in control and HE knows better than we do.  It is so comforting to know that He loves me so much and has my best interest at heart 100% of the time.  Things are never perfect and things are always changing, but God stays the same and his love never fails so I can rest in Him even when I am not stable in certain situations and afraid of the unknown.  It blows my mind how God hand-picked my husband for me how anointing our relationship is, it is different from anything I have ever experienced.  I know God has truly blessed our marriage and relationship.  It is beautiful on how God knew about Gabriel way before I did, and how he put certain people in my path to minister to me, and how he cared and loved so much for Gabriel while he was still in my womb that he protected him and kept him safe.  I can honestly say that God has his army of angels around me protecting Me and Gabriel.  God fought for my baby and made sure he stayed safe!!  In my lifetime I can look back and see how God was always with me and was just waiting on me.  He never gave up on me, and always gave more love when I needed it the most.  Every trial I have been through, I can now see why I went through it and what beauty came from it.  I am now equipped to be a strong wife and mother with what I have experienced and I can be there for my Husband and Son in ways I couldn’t before, if I did not experience what I went through.  God has truly blessed me with my family and I am so in love with them.  I am still learning how detailed our creator is and how specific he is with everything, and I am learning to appreciate it.  I do not want to take things for granted and let things pass by.  Every moment and every breathe is a gift, even in the Trials.  I am beyond excited with seeing how God has started to use me by helping women, and I can’t wait to see how God will use me to have His name be known and Him have all the glory and honor.  Every good thing is from God and for God.  I really feel this is the start of many great things for our beautiful family.  No matter where you are in your life right now, Stop, and give God thanks.  Give him thanks for everything and anything!!!  He loves you so much and is so detailed about you and what happens to you and your loved ones.  He wants the best for you but there is one key to receiving it.  Follow Jesus and do this in obedience.  You can’t be one foot in and one foot in the world.  You have to change your lifestyle if it doesn’t align with God’s Will and by doing this, everything in your life will align.  Have a blessed day and remember This is the Day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be Glad!!! Love Katy-Rose

My Most Favorite Scriptures

Some of my Most Favorite Scriptures…..

        These scriptures I rely on in good times and in bad times. 

Ephesians 6:10-18

        Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. ¹¹ Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. ¹² For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. ¹³ Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. ¹⁴ Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, ¹⁵ and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. ¹⁶ In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. ¹⁷ Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

 ¹⁸ And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people

(This scripture was my favorite when I first started reading the bible, I claimed this one and it gives me strength and authority)

Psalm 139: 1-24

        You have searched me, LORD,
   and you know me.
² You know when I sit and when I rise;
   you perceive my thoughts from afar.
³ You discern my going out and my lying down;
   you are familiar with all my ways.
⁴ Before a word is on my tongue
   you, LORD, know it completely.
⁵ You hem me in behind and before,
   and you lay your hand upon me.
⁶ Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
   too lofty for me to attain.
 ⁷ Where can I go from your Spirit?
   Where can I flee from your presence?
⁸ If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
   if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
⁹ If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
   if I settle on the far side of the sea,
¹⁰ even there your hand will guide me,
   your right hand will hold me fast.
¹¹ If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
   and the light become night around me,”
¹² even the darkness will not be dark to you;
   the night will shine like the day,
   for darkness is as light to you.
 ¹³ For you created my inmost being;
   you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
¹⁴ I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
   your works are wonderful,
   I know that full well.
¹⁵ My frame was not hidden from you
   when I was made in the secret place,
   when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
¹⁶ Your eyes saw my unformed body;
   all the days ordained for me were written in your book
   before one of them came to be.
¹⁷ How precious to me are your thoughts,^[a] God!
   How vast is the sum of them!
¹⁸ Were I to count them,
   they would outnumber the grains of sand—
   when I awake, I am still with you.
 ¹⁹ If only you, God, would slay the wicked!
   Away from me, you who are bloodthirsty!
²⁰ They speak of you with evil intent;
   your adversaries misuse your name.
²¹ Do I not hate those who hate you, LORD,
   and abhor those who are in rebellion against you?
²² I have nothing but hatred for them;
   I count them my enemies.
²³ Search me, God, and know my heart;
   test me and know my anxious thoughts.
²⁴ See if there is any offensive way in me,
   and lead me in the way everlasting.
 (This scripture makes me remember who I am from the very beginning and that God knew me before I even accepted him.  This scripture I claim over my son and will remind him)
Acts 16:31
        Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved-you and your household.
(This scripture I literally stand on and declare it because I want everyone in my “inner circle” to be saved and born-again.)
Proverbs 22:6
        Start children off on the way they should go,
   and even when they are old they will not turn from it.
(My husband and I have made an agreement that we are raising godly children no matter what and this scripture we will declare)



Genesis 18:19
        For I have chosen him, that he may command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing righteousness and justice, so that the LORD may bring to Abraham what he has promised him.
(This I declare over my husband and how he is going to lead our son.)

Proverbs 18:22
        He who finds a wife finds what is good
   and receives favor from the LORD.
(My husband declares this scripture between him and the Lord.  He knows he has favor with the Lord because God found him a wife J)
1 John 1:9
        If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
(This scripture was given to me in a life/death moment from a priest, and this has stuck with me ever since)
John 3:16
        For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.
(This is the example of TRUE LOVE)
****These are just a few of my top scriptures that I remember and use a lot.  The bible is filled with so many so it is hard to narrow it down, when it is all truth you can’t just pick some of it.  When you are alive in this world and there is nothing but lies surrounding you, wouldn’t you want to grasp the only real true thing in this world???  The Bible is the Way and the Truth.

NEVER ENDING BATTLE.....

Constant Never Ending Battle……

                Do you ever just feel exhausted, defeated, weak, etc?  This tends to happen when you are in battle and you have been giving the tools and training.  There is all of this training done and then the final test comes and you either pass or fail.  If you fail you get to do it over and over until you get it right, but when you pass, you become stronger but then have to get right back into training for the next test that will be much stronger.  This my friends is called “living a Christian life.”  Every day you get out of bed and start the day, it is time to put on the armor of God and get ready for battle.  Each day brings trials, and some days there are even rewards.  J  This is a battle that must be fought day in and day out.  The only way the battle will be over is when you are no longer on this earth.  But, as long as we are alive and well, then there should be no excuses.  It is a privilege to be alive, so why buy into satans lies and get wrapped up in the chaos of the world by being too busy for anything.  We have loved ones with us that we need to spend time with, we have to become disciples of God.  I will share a personal story below….

                I have mentioned in my video blogs that I was always in and out with the Lord for the beginning of my life in my walk with God.  It is much harder to do the walk with God when you are alone.  If you aren’t in a good church, and surrounded by good people, and having godly counsel to where you have people remind you of God’s Word and help keep you in check.  So of course I was back and forth because the majority of it I was on my own trying to spiritually feed myself the word and there is only so much you can do alone.  The huge difference I noticed was when I was alone, and then when I started connecting the dots and seeing how important it is to have all of those other key elements.  I found a good church and I was hooked in that, then I started watching the type of people I was surrounding myself with because influence is everything and to be honest I have had wrong influence in my life (especially in my past ) for too long, and it was time to cut it out!!  Then I found Godly counsel by seeking godly women and pastors and the times I had doubt and fear I would talk to them and they would point me back in the direction of where I needed to be (in the Bible)  It is funny because once you start progressing spiritually you see where you start and all of the levels you go through and how much more you learn.  Here I started out alone, and now I found a church and going one time a week wasn’t enough, so then twice, then three times, then extra studies, etc.  You want more and more and you become addicted to serving God and his word.  Once you have it, you don’t want to lose it so you make sure to stay in it.  I have had people in my past especially when I really started becoming a true Christian and my life started showing it, they would tell me “You’re a religious fanatic now, you don’t know how to have fun, you are boring, do you think you are better than us now, I am a Christian but I don’t feel you need to go to church, etc.”  These are things that people tell me, and they start to judge you because you become open with your beliefs and start putting God first.  My best advice is Keep on Loving God first and foremost!!!!  People are going to come and go, and if people don’t understand you then don’t waste time trying to convince them, it isn’t worth the time and energy.  You will see circumstances start to change when you start fully serving the Lord, your eyes become opened and you are no longer blinded by the world.

                So…. Is this battle worth it???? ABSOLUTLEY!!!!  Life is short, we are here for HIS purpose not OUR OWN!!  We need to love the Lord with all of our heart and learn about his word so we can tell it to others and win people to Christ and get salvations.  There are people going to Hell and it is our job to put on our armors and start becoming real warriors of Christ.

LOVE....

  L O V E….

                This word gets thrown around in the world today as if it is just a word.  People think love is a feeling they get and then they go with it and assume it is love.  People say they can fall in and out of love with people, and some even say that love can die and fade away.  Let’s look at the definition of what love means:  a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person/ a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child, or friend/sexual passion or desire/a person toward whom love is felt; beloved person; sweetheart.  So here the dictionary describes love as a feeling of affection, and a sexual desire.  This definition describes how we use the term love in our world today.  Now let’s look at a true definition of love according to God  (John 3:16)  For God so loved the world that he gave His only Son, that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.  Does this even match what our dictionary says?  This here is a true sacrifice of giving His ONLY Son and to take on all the sins of us.  We cannot even understand how amazing this is.    Could any of us sacrifice our own child for all of the sinners of the world?  Could you watch your child who was innocent, be beaten, abused, spit on, whipped, skin pierced, stabbed, made fun of, etc.  ????  This is something to think about because this is the true definition of what real love is.  Once you understand just a little of this, then you have something to comprehend and go off of. 

                Something I cannot understand is the divorce rate in our society.  In the bible God clearly states the reason for marriage, and the gift of each other between man and wife, and it seems people have a different definition of what marriage is as well.  Here we stand at an altar and make a promise to God through the good and the bad, till death do we part.  Then it seems as soon as it doesn’t meet what we had in our mind, people are so quick to bail out and forget what was said to God and the reason for marriage.  As you can see clearly there is a “world” definition for things and a “God definition.  Which do you want to have aligned with? 

                Awhile ago I saw an article that was in the news and a wife lost her husband who was in the marines, and she actually laid down next to his casket and spent the night laying next to him and played all of “their” songs.  This to me shows love, and it shows it going all the way to the end.  No bailing out, through the good the bad and the ugly.  When things get uncomfortable people tend to panic, but this is where God can be a big part of your life if you let him in.  It is funny I asked my husband if he would do what that lady did, and he agreed and then I asked him what songs would he play that our “our songs” and he gave me a list.  It made me laugh because the majority of our songs are about God and giving praise to God.  We love certain songs that we really enjoy together and they happen to be praise and worship songs to our Lord.

                So keep in mind that there are two definitions in our world related to everything.  There is the world’s way and Gods way.  What definition are you living by?  What definition are you raising your children by?  If you want to know more about Gods definitions and ways, the bible gives the guidelines of how God wants us to live and what he has planned for us.
